RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 2 (14 SEPTEMBER 2025)

TOPIC: THE HYPOSTATIC UNION

OPENING PRAYER:

Lord Jesus, help me to comprehend Your varying, yet distinct nature.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

The teacher should review the lesson for the previous week.

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Hebrews 4:14-16

14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

MEMORY VERSE:

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14.

INTRODUCTION

The concept of hypostatic union states that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man. He is simultaneously perfectly divine and perfectly human, having two complete and distinct natures at once. Jesus had always been God (John 8:58, 10:30), but at the incarnation, Jesus became a human being (John 1:14).

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM:

To understand and appreciate the dual nature of Jesus Christ being fully God and fully man, and to recognize the significance of this doctrine in the Christian faith.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES:

Through this lesson, students should be able to:

1. Know what the Hypostatic Union means.
2. Identify biblical pieces of evidence supporti.y the doctrine.
3. Understand Jesus’ Divine and Human Natures.
4. Reflect on how the understanding of Jesus’ dual nature impacts their personal faith and daily life.

TEACHING PLAN:

To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

1. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discus-sion, and do class activities and assignments.
2. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the wellbeing of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
3. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignments.

TEXT REVIEW: Hebrews 4:14-16

A. This passage emphasises Jesus’ unique role as the High Priest who intercedes for us.

i. His ascension into heaven confirms His divine nature, while His empathy with our weaknesses and His experience of temptation confirm His human nature.

ii. Since we see that, we have:
…… V14a.
Let us …… V14b.

B. We do not have a High Priest who:
i….. V15a.
ii. But He was … V15b.

C. We should therefore boldly…….. V16.

TEACHING METHOD:

The Lecture Method.

TIME MANAGEMENT:

The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: HIS DIVINE NATURE

A. The scripture is clear that Jesus is God (John 20:28; Titus 2:13).

1. Jesus claimed the divine name “I am” (John 8:58) and did things that only God can do (Mark 2:3-7).

2. He operated in the power of His divinity (John 11:43-44; Matthew 14:18-21).

3. He claimed divine authority (Matthew 28:18).

4. Jesus is God’s Son in that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35). But that does not mean Jesus did not exist before He was con-ceived. Jesus has always existed (John 8:58).

B. An affirmation of the divinity of Jesus is required to be saved (Romans 10:9).

1. The apostle John provided a sober warning that those who deny Christ’s true humanity are promoting the doctrine of the antichrist (2 John 1:7).

2. The statement “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30) confirms Jesus’ divine nature, which includes omnipotence (Hebrews 1:1-4), omniscience (John 2:25), and perfection (Corinthians 5:21).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Share a personal reason you believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: HIS HUMAN NATURE

A. The humanity of Jesus is as important as His deity. Jesus was born as a human being while still being divine.

1. While the Godhead has existed and reigned from all eternity (Romans 1:20), the second Person of the Trinity, the Son, took on human flesh at a particular point in time (Luke 1:35; 1 Timothy 3:16.

2. When Jesus was conceived, He became a human being in addition to being God (John 1:1, 14).

3. Jesus became a human being to identify with us in our struggles (Hebrews 2:17-18).

4. More importantly, so that He could die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins (Galatians 3:13).

B. Though He is fully God, Jesus (being fully hu-man) experienced the full range of human exis-tence: weaknesses, physical limitations, emotions, and temptations. For instance:

1. Jesus became hungry (Matthew 21:18) and fatigued (John 4:6).
2. He was sorrowful at some point (Mark 14:34).
3. He also socialised (John 2:1-5).
4. He showed compassion to those in need (Matthew 9:36).
5. He experienced the pain of betrayal (Luke 22:21, 47-48).

C. The humanity of Jesus enabled Him to be “tempted in every way, just as we are, yet without sin” (Hebrews 4:15). Hence:

1. He suffered for us (1 Peter 4:1).
2. He was made poor (2 Corinthians 8:9).
3. He was despised (Isaiah 53:3).
4. He suffered physical pain and endured the sorrows of a lingering and cruel death (Hebrews
5. 12:2).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

What other things in the scriptures point to Jesus’ humanity?

CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 14 September 2025

The evidences about the dual nature of Jesus Christ abound as biblical truths that cannot be denied.

EVALUATION:

What aspect of God’s divinity stands out for you?

CLOSING PRAYER:

Jesus, You know what it feels like to be human without sin. Help me to walk before You and be perfect.

ASSIGNMENT: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual Lesson 2

Mention two (2) attributes that depict the divine nature of Jesus Christ (2×5=10 Marks).

Father, give me the understanding of Your varying manifestations.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:

BIBLE READING

BIBLE PASSAGE: Colossians 1:16-17

16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

MEMORY VERSE:

“O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.” Psalm 104:24

INTRODUCTION:

The word “omnificence” is defined as the ability to create all things.

Omnificence rightly describes Gods unlimited power to create all things as noted in the Bible’s first verse: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).

In Colossians 1:16-17, God is also affirmed as the Creator of all things. Although God is the Creator of all, He has given some of His creative ability to man.

TEACHER’S DIARY

LESSON AIM:

To understand the concept of God’s omnificence.

TEACHING OBJECTIVES:

Through this lesson, students should be able to:

1. Understand the concept of omnificence.
2. Describe the omnificence nature of God.
3. Learn how a man can create like God.

TEACHING PLAN:

To achieve the above-stated objectives, the teacher should:

1. Allow the students to recite the memory verse, read the Bible passage, contribute to the discus-sion, and do class activities and assignments.
2. Allow the Assistant Teacher to see to the wellbeing of the class, and mark attendance and assignment.
3. Teach the lesson outline, summarise, conclude, evaluate the lesson and give assignments.

TEXT REVIEW: Colossians 1:16-17.

The apostle Paul in his epistle to the church in Colossae revealed to us that all things in heaven, and on earth, visible and invisible were created by God.

1. These include: i) …… (ii) …… (iii)…….. (iv)… V16a & 16b.
2. All things were created (i)….. (i)……….. V16c.
3. He is (i)…..(iї)…V17

TEACHING METHOD:

The Lecture Method.

TIME MANAGEMENT:

The teacher should apply the two-lesson outline teaching time.

LESSON OUTLINE 1: NATURE OF GOD’S OMNIFICENCE

A. John 1:3 tells us that God made all things, visible and invisible (Colossians 1:16) through the instrumentality of His word (Hebrews 11:3). Hence:

i. God’s omnificence goes hand-in-hand with His omnipotence (all-powerful), and His omniscience (all-knowing).

ii. God was able to create without limitation (om-nificence) because of His power (omnipotence) and wisdom (omniscience) – Jeremiah 10:12; Proverbs 3:19

B. God’s creative work is an expression of His attributes (Romans 1:20):

i. Psalm 104:24-25 is full of praise for our omnifi-cent God: the Psalmist praises God for the creation of light, the clouds, the wind, the seas, the mountains, the valleys, the beasts of the field, the birds of the sky, the trees, the sun and moon, and the very rhythm of life. All are proof of God’s omnificence.

ii. Psalm 40:5 wonders at the depth of God’s om-nificence. God’s creative power is unlimited and beyond our ability to fully comprehend.

C. God is not only the Creator of all:

i. He also sustains all (Acts 17:28).

ii. The omnificent God who created the universe is the same God who cares for each one of us (Psalm 8:3-4).

CLASS ACTIVITY 1:

Mention any three amazing works of God.

LESSON OUTLINE 2: NATURE OF MAN LIKE GOD

A. God created man in His image and likeness – depicting God’s attributes like holiness, intelligence and creativity (Genesis 1:26).

B. Although man is not omnificent, God gave man tremendous creative ability ‘being gods’ (Psalm 82:6). Man can recreate things in the similitude of the things God created (Exodus 31:3) for instance:

i. In Genesis 1:16 “God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night” but gave man the ability to create electricity.

ii. God can communicate with us anywhere and anytime, (Numbers 12:6-8) but He gave man the ability to invent communication gadgets like the mobile phone so that man can communicate with one another anywhere and anytime.

iii. God formed man from clay and made him a living soul through His breath (Genesis 2:7), man is inventing robots in the exact image of man called ‘humanoids’

C. Man is still in the process of fully harnessing his creative potential and just like Genesis 11:6b states “nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.”

D. There is a creative ability in every man (Job 32:8). All we need to do is to look inward and explore the thoughts, ideas, talents, and potential inherent in us to invent something for our benefit and the benefit of humanity (Psalm 8:5-6).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2:

Are there things made by man that are not made from what God has already made?

CONCLUSION: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual 7 September 2025

God’s creative power stirs our faith because, through it, we know that He can do all things. As believers, we also share in His creative ability (Psalm 82:6).

EVALUATION:

Mention other areas in which God created something and man makes its types

CLOSING PRAYER:

Father, on the authority of the creative ability You have given man, I make initiatives beneficial to many generations in Jesus’ name.

ASSIGNMENT: RCCG Sunday School Teachers Manual Lesson 1

Mention two (2) things that enable God to create without limitation (2×5=10 Marks).

RCCG SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS MANUAL LESSON 53 (31 AUGUST 2025)

TOPIC: SPECIAL INTERACTIVE SESSION

DISCUSSION ON SOME OF THE CHALLENGING LESSONS OR SUBJECTS IN THE COURSE OF THE YEAR 2024-2025. THIS CAN TAKE THE FORM OF A DEBATE, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS OR CLARIFICATIONS.

HERE ARE SOME ISSUES THAT MAY BE DEBATED IN THE CLASS IN THE 2024-2025 SUNDAY SCHOOL MANUAL.

1. Lesson 1: Is the kingdom of God in heaven or on earth?
2. Lesson 14: Is there anything like holy anger? Is it possible to be angry and not sin?
3. Lesson 48: Is it only believers in Christ living holy that will make it to heaven? What about people of other religions (non-Christians) that are doing good?

TEACHERS SHOULD ALLOW THE STUDENTS PRESENT THEIR POINTS IN FAVOUR OR AGAINST THE MATTER. THEN, THE TEACHER SHOULD PRESENT THE CORRECT BIBLICAL STANCE AS STATED BELOW:

LESSON 1: Is The Kingdom Of God In Heaven Or On Earth?

• The kingdom of God is the rule of an eternal, sovereign God over all the universe. Psalm 103:19 says “The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.” God’s kingdom is an eternal kingdom” (Daniel 4:3). It stretches from the ageless past to the future yet unseen. The kingdom of God comprises everything that is: visible and invisible.
• The kingdom of God is also a spiritual rule over the hearts and lives of those who are genuinely born-again and willingly submit to God’s authority (John 3:3-5). Such people enter the kingdom of God on earth awaiting a translation to the kingdom of God in Heaven.
• God’s kingdom resides within the heart of believers in Christ (Luke 17:20-21).
• Ultimately, the kingdom of God (which the disciples enquired about when Jesus was about to ascend in Acts 1:6) will be the literal rule of Christ on the earth during the millennium. (Daniel 2:44).
• Those who reject God’s authority and refuse to submit to Him are not part of the kingdom of God on earth and in heaven (1 Corinthians 6:9).

LESSON 14: Is There Anything Like Holy Anger? Is It Possible To Be Angry And Not Sin?

• There are two Greek words translated as “anger.”
  One means “passion, energy” and the other means “agitated, boiling.”
• The first type of anger, of which the Bible approves, is called “righteous indignation” or “holy anger.” For instance, the Bible says God is angry with the wicked everyday (Psalm 7:11). Jesus looked on the Pharisees who were opposed to Him healing the man with a withered hand in anger (Mark 3:5).
  This is God-given energy intended to help solve problems in the face of oppositions and it is acceptable for believers to be angry (Ephesians 4:26). Other examples of biblical anger include David’s being upset over hearing Nathan the prophet sharing an injustice (2 Samuel 12) and Jesus’ anger over how some of the Jews had defiled worship at God’s temple in Jerusalem (John 2:13-18).
• Holy anger does not involve self-defence, but a de-fence of others or of a principle (against injustice, harassment, etc). Anger at an injustice inflicted against oneself is also appropriate. Hence, anger is not always sin.
• The second type of anger comes with agitation or rage. This anger becomes sin when:
• It is motivated by pride (James 1:20).

• It is unproductive and distorts God’s purposes (1
  Corinthians 10:31).
  It is allowed to linger or hijacked by the devil especially when the angry one refuses to be pacified, holds a grudge, or keeps it all inside (Ephesians
  4:26-27).
• It produces poisonous speech which is a common characteristic of a fallen man (Bomans 3:13-14).
  It is allowed to boil over without restraint, resulting in a scenario in which hurt is multiplied (Proverbs 29:11), leaving devastation in its wake.
  One obvious sign that anger has turned to sin is when, instead of attacking the problem at hand, we attack the person (Ephesians 4:15-19).
  The consequences of out-of-control anger are devastating and irreparable.

LESSON 48: Is It Only Believers In Christ Living Holy That Will Make It To Heaven? What About People Of Other Religions (Non-Christians) That Are Doing Good?

After the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God, in His mercy and love for mankind started making plans to redeem and reconcile them to Himself. The provision to transfer the sin of man to innocent animals failed overtime because man kept returning to his vomit (Hebrews 9:12-14; 2 Peter 2:22). God cannot compromise on His standard. There has to be punishment for sins committed and the price is death (2 Thessalonians 1:6; Romans 6:23). Our good does not outweigh our bad (Isaiah 64:6).

Only God can redeem man from the nature of sin that we inherited through Adam, so God came in the flesh (as God the son-Jesus Christ) to live on earth like man (in human form). Jesus was tested and tried by all the forces of life yet without sin

(John 14:30; Hebrews 4:15). Since, it is required that the blood of the innocent must be shed for there to be remission of sin, Jesus (without sin) laid down His life, took the sin of the whole worl upon Himself, and died to pay the ultimate price required by the law to save mankind from eternal damnation and destruction (2 Corinthians 5:21).

All that is required from sinful humans now is to believe in the love of God and embrace the grace that brings salvation through Jesus (Titus 2:11).

The only one that gives salvation is Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12).

Jesus made it clear that He came from heaven. and would go back to heaven to create room for as many as would believe Him (John 14:1-3). Не emphasised that nobody can get to heaven except by Him (John 14:6) and anyone that does not believe in Him is already condemned (John 3:18, 36).

There is no amount of good deed that can replace the provision made by God to save humanity.

Remember Cornelius (Acts 10). Jesus is the ONLY way to heaven and ONLY those who accept Him as LORD and SAVIOUR, living by faith in Him to the end will make it to heaven.

GLORY BE TO GOD. GOD BLESS YOU IN JESUS’ NAME. AMEN.
